I regularly do this: 1. dpkg -l > package.list 2. less package.list (find packages you want to remove) 3. apt-get remove <pkgs> 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as needed (I usually just remove 4 or 5 packages at a time) -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
